Custom Private tour- Serengeti, Tangire, Ngorongoro, Hadzabe
A wonderful experience both creating and participating in a custom package with Soul of Tanzania. I inquired online and Marta reached out immediately. Throughout the process, she was prompt with her replies and provided clear answers to my many questions. The pre-trip process was smooth, quick, and painless. Most importantly, she created a six day trip that was perfect and has left me with memories that will last a lifetime. The guide, Cleopa, was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and has an eagle eye which I'll never stop being amazed by. He worked with me on the day to day agenda, never rushed me, and made sure I got to see the big 5. He made it a personal mission to spot the rhino and I am truly grateful for his efforts. Bottom-line, you can't go wrong with these guys- courteous, professional, reliable, and they will deliver an awe inspiring journey. I highly recommend the Hadzabe visit by the way- few other tourists, an engaging group of people, and a unique experience. Thank you Marta and Cleopa!

Great experience
We did a three days safari (lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire) for 390€ per person. The communication with Nelson was ok (per Email or WhatsApp), we had to pay 20% in advance in oder to make the booking, without receiving anything official afterward, so we were a little afraid and sceptical.
But everything went great, we got picked up at Arusha airport and brought to Nelson's hotel (two nights, before and after the safari, were included in the price).
Our safari guide was great, the jeep was also ok, everyone (max 7 people) had a window seat. The food was also very good, we slept two nights at Panorama camp near Lake Manyara.
The organization is a little chaotic, but that's Africa.
The experience itself was amazing, we got to see all kind of animals and our guide really took time to show us everything and always asked if he could proceed or wait for photos.
For the price and the experience I would highly recommend Focus in Africa!

Unforgettable safari
We had 6-day safari with Seven Wonders which was so perfect, it's hard to put on words. Our guide Hoza was truely king of the savannah! He knew everything about the animals and was so patient with our questions. He always knew when we wanted to stop for pictures and seemed to really love and respect nature. Hoza made us feel save and was always on time. With his positive and calm energy, he made our safari unforgettable. This was my 3rd safari and Hoza was the best guide I've ever had! We definitely recommend Seven Wonders Safaris for everyone and would give this company six stars if it would be possible!

Highly recommended
We had the best experience with Simba Adventures, specially because of our AMAZING guide, ISAYA (masai), who was always concerned about our safety and wellness. Thank to him and his expert eyes we were able to see the big 5!
We highly recommend to do the tour with Isaya if you have the chance. He can speak spanish and english.
Thanks so much for this wonderful experience!

5 DAYS OF SAFARI FROM NAIROBI TO MASAI MARA/LAKE NAKURU/AMBOSELI AND BACK TO NAIROBI
We really had a great time during this 5 days of Safari. I’ve chosen African Mosaic on the internet, I’ve talked directly to Max. He was so helpful and friendly, He helped us get our visas in no time and planned our safari above our expectations!! His professionalism won us over. We were less concerned about the organization of the safari because it planned everything from A to Z. Payment was made online via a secure site. Our guide named JOSHUA was wonderful, helpful and kind, he knows absolutely everything. From our arrival in Nairobi till the end of our trip, je was a perfect guide and was very patient with us. We felt safe with him and in less than three days we had the chance to see the big five. I highly recommend African Safari Tour they are one of the best in Kenya and you won’t regret it. Joshua
Thanks again to Max and Joshua to made this trip unforgettable, we will keep in our memories.

Best Family Run Travel Company
This is one of the best experiences I’ve had travelling. The operators took time to curate an experience to remember. The driver was articulate and knowledgeable about wildlife, felt like I was tuned to a Attenborough wildlife episode. In short I am certain I’ll use Crimson Brooke Safaris for my future endeavours. God bless

An unforgettable trip
We just completed a 14-day privately guided trip through Namibia. We started in Windhoek, headed south to the Kalahari, then further south to Kolmanskop, headed north to the Sossusvlei and Swakopmund, then through the Skeleton Coast to Damaraland, finishing in Etosha. What a magical trip. An incredible country made even better by the itinerary put together by Petra. Every detail was considered, every lodge jaw-dropping, she anticipated everything, including highlights and even when we might be fatigued and need a little pampering at one of the lodges. Our guide, Buzzy, knew everything about the flora, fauna, history, and culture of our travels. He spotted things I would have driven right by, and provided context to the incredible scenery (without that you are really just looking at a postcard.) I do not have enough superlatives in my vocabulary. I will say that I have a general rule that I do not go back to a place I have already visited, but I will make an exception to that rule here.

Incredible tour to Mount Meru
I did the Mount Meru trekking with Kiliholidays Tours & Safaris in October, 2022 as four days trekking tour. I chose Kiliholidays because I wanted to travel with a local company and because they offered the best value. I decided in advance to choose the four-days trekking because I had read that it is really exhausting.
The organization process in advance was good. Mack responded to each of my mails - not immediately but within two days. One great point in advance was that he organized also the transfer from and to the airport and the accomodation at the arrival day and for the day when we returned from Mount Meru.
The organization was really good. A driver picked me up at the airport and took me to Arusha where I met up with Mack at the hotel. Because I wanted to see something from the landscape, he organized to go to see some waterfalls. So after a short refreshing, I met Gabriel who took me to the waterfalls and who was also the guide for the Mount Meru for the following days.
The next day, I was picked up at 9 am to go to the Arusha national park and to Momella Gate from where we started going up to the Meru. I was alone for my tour (the team was made of three persons (guide, porter and cook). At the Momella gate we met with two other groups (one with two and another with one clients). The first part of the trek leads through the national park and we have seen Zebras, buffalos, pumbas and giraffes from a really short distance. After this we went up to Miriakamba hut. The pace was quite moderate and like this, there was alot of time to talk to all in the extended group, to enjoy the fresh air, the scenery - and to to take pictures, of course. Up at Miriakamba, we got our rooms - because there were almost no people around, we even got single rooms - and had time to refresh ourselves. Then we got tea/coffee and salted popcorn and cookies and dinner afterwards. It was a great time to discuss different topics with the other tourists and the locals.
After a really comfortable night at Miriakamba, we had breakfast the next morning and started going up to the Saddle Hut at around 9 am. As before, the trail i really good prepared, not very steep and easy to walk on. Enjoying the scenery - and the stunning view of Mount Kilimanjaro - I had time to take many pictures, to observe some monkeys and to talk to Gabriel about the fauna, Tanzania in general and many different other things. Up at the Saddle, we had lunch, relaxed a little bit and after this, Gabriel and I walked upt to the Little Meru for acclimatization. Because of clouds coming up, the view was not the best, but it was an amazing atmosphere. Up at 3820 metres, I was impressed by the vegetation. After being back at the Saddle, we had dinner and went to bed at aroun 7:30 pm because we wanted to start the hike to summit at 1 am the next morning.
The night at the Saddle was colder than the one at the miriakamba (of course because of the altitude) but I did'nt have problems with freezing.
At midnight, I got up and met up with gabriel and Eliah (he was hired as a porter and he joined us to go up to the summit). With headlamps, we went up to the summit and reached Rhino point after approximately 45-50 minutes. The trail up there was really easy to walk and the view was amazing because the moon was really bright. After this, we had a great time going up to the summit. The trail was a little steeper than before and it was a great experience walking on different ground without seeing properly what you are walking on. Up to the summit we had three breaks (alltogether about 45-60 minutes) and we reached the summit at 5:40 am when the sky started to turn red. The temperature were about -3°C and it was winds so it felt cold and I was glad that I had taken my gloves, a cap and a light down jacket. Because Gabriel, eliah and me were the only guys at the summit we had the chance to see the complete sunrise what was an incredible experience. In total, we spend approximately 45-50 minutes up there and saw the shadow of Mount Meru down in the valley when we started descending. On the way down to the Saddle Hut we had two breaks (one for taking off the warm clothes and for a longer photo session at the Rhino Point). It was really great to see the ground on the way down which you were not able to identify while ascending at night. After having had fun at descending through black sand, we arrived back at the Saddle Hut at 8:30. There we took some time to relax, had a brunch and started descending to miriakamba Hut were we stood for another night. It was really nice to have the time to enjoy all the scenery. It would have been possible without problems to descend directly to the Momella Gate on this day but it was really great to have another night at the mountain, to observe Black & White Collabus Monkeys and all the vegetation around.
The next day, we had a relaxed breakfast and after this we started descending to the Momella Gate. On the way down, we saw some buffalos, bushbocks, and monkeys. Because we had some time left, we extended our trip to the Momella Gate and visited a waterfall. After this, our way down was completed by seeing giraffes, buffalos, and pumbas.

At the momella Gate we had time to rest, for lunch, to talk - and of course for tipping. By car, we went to Arusha again, where I met Mack again in the hotel. After having spent some time to walk through Arusha, Mack took me to have a local dinner, again.
All together, it was a really great tour and I can warmly recommend the tourwith Kilholidays because everything was really good organized, everyone was really warm and welcoming, I felt safe all the time, and everyone did the very best possible to also adapt spontaneaously - as the extra tour to the waterfall on the way descending to the momella Gate.
